Interesting. Looks not to simply have gull wing doors, but also looks like it may have actual delorean hinges / torsion bars. Am I seeing this right?

Can't quite tell on the torsion bar, but those hinges do look damn similar.

Interesting. Looks like the same steering wheel from my '85 Plymouth Turismo, Renault Alpine front end with a Dodge Charger inspired rear end.

There were a number of PPG Pace Cars that were "robbing the DMC Parts Bin"
back in 1982, including the Renault R5 Turbo PPG Pace Car.

Back when I visited the auto museum in Reno NV (1998 or 1999) they had one of these gullwing Dodge pace cars. I dont remember it having that funky rear end, looked like a pretty standard Daytona except with nearly identical doors to the DeLorean.

The side profile of that car looks like the front end of a dodge daytona or plymouth laser of that era....

It was there. The way they have all of the cars in that particular room, they're either backed up against the wall or against each other, so you never really get a clear view of the rears.
